This is an 8"x10" canvas I created and I used sand texture paste and a Prima Bubbles Stencil to prepare the background.

The #23 is a special date in mine and my husband's lives, while the #1 is the number of our current house.

I used a mixture of Lindy's Stamp Gang Industrial Chic mists and magicals to colour the background and the chipboard houses. What is REALLY strange is that this canvas was sitting unfinished on my desk the day the designer of the Industrial Chic set Limor Webber came to MY house and saw her product all over my desk LOL! It was a bit surreal..

The Chipboard houses are actually called Studio 490 Wendy Vecchi Art Parts. These, together with the canvas, sun stencil and newspaper paper came in the October kit at Frog Dog Studio.

Once the background was ready, I added these very beautiful Manor House Collection flowers. You can get some of these at The Scrapbook Store HERE or for other stockists please look HERE

I am always inspired when I come by here.. this is amazing.. love how you interpreted the criteria.. Love all the texture in the back ground.. and have a very Merry Christmas Nadia, and a most blessed time with your lovely family!!xx
